Counting our blessings: Preparing for the arrival...

In 2 days, Agnes will be in Week 37 officially! In the midst of having visitors and Kevin being busy with his research work, we managed to get things ready around the house... thanks to family and friends...

Kevin's mum bought us a set of pots and pans and a slow cooker. She also pain-stakingly made chicken essence for Agnes with the new slow cooker!

washing teeny-weeny clothes, bibs, mittens and socks - both new and hand-me-downs... we have received more hand-me-downs from Fiona's daughter

putting the cot (now waiting to put on the beautiful sheets that Kevin's mum, Wilson and Janet bought!) together

moving the furniture around the room to make way for the cot and the portable cot (it's now under the cot) that Helen gave us...

 getting the wooden chest ready for baby wraps, towels etc ...it was previously full of dress ups from Wendy's friend - the dress ups are with the child care centre ;)

the Skinners lent us lots of things,

and gave us a bath and a change table!

Helene gave us a high chair that can be used as a "low" chair too!

received more gifts... 2 pairs of cutey socks from Samuel and Charis

more bibs and body suits from Lyn... she's so sweet!

We also attended ante-natal classes, where during one of the sessions Kevin was 'volunteered' to show where the epidural needle goes to the spine... ;)

The next thing we need to do is to get a car seat. Technically, we already did but the Baby World Nursery Products, where we bought the seat from has closed :O before we got the product. Now we are back to square one, with a high likelihood of not getting back any refund. Nahhh, we are not letting that upset us..! :)
